    My mom totally gets me...

    My mom surprised me today with an "eco-friendly" seedling tray :clap She said she saw it and thought immediately of me. Funny part, is that I saw the same thing at Menards and chose not to get it, cuz I was feeling cheap. Thanks mom :thumbsup

    Found a wonderful local worm provider (IN)

    What are these yellow/brown spots on my tomato plants?

    Thanks for the tips! It is spreading...a lot! It has gotten substantially worse, since most of my tomato plants fell a few weeks ago due to rain and winds. Its so odd, since one side (the side that was laying on the ground) is completely covered... the other side is just fine. I'm definitely...

    Yummmm...that does look good! Yes, I'm half-tempted to buy some eggplants @ the Farmers Market this weekend as well! My eggplants take forever, plus a few of them are dying (due to fungus) so I don't know if I'm waiting for eggplants that will never be :hu

    Green peppers are a bust... what would you do???

    I have no advice for you...I gave up on peppers last year! I figured I would just buy them instead, they barely ever got any bigger than a 1/4 of what I can buy @ the Farmers Market! I'd just leave them and see what you get...you never know :hu
